Classic Cartoon Favorites, Vol. 4 - Starring Chip 'n Dale
The mischievous chipmunks Chip and Dale began as the unnamed rodent-pests in "Private Pluto" (1943); they acquired names in their third film, "Chip an' Dale" (1947). Although the duo became a mainstay of the Disney shorts during the late '40s and '50s, primarily as adversaries for Donald Duck, the characters never quite gelled. Their appearance and the pitch and comprehensibility of their voices change noticeably from film to film. Chip (the smarter one with the smaller nose) and Dale (the dim one with the larger nose and, often, buck teeth) are at their best when they're trying to protect their home and acorns from Donald ("Chip an' Dale," "Out on a Limb") or Pluto ("Food for Feudin'"). They're less appealing when they become aggressors ("Three for Breakfast"). The other three entries in the Classic Cartoon Favorites series, devoted to Mickey, Donald, and Pluto, repeat many of the shorts previously released in the Walt Disney Treasures series. This disc is the first one devoted entirely to Chip an' Dale. (Unrated, suitable for ages 5 and older: cartoon violence, minor ethnic stereotyping) --Charles Solomon
Customer Review: Perfect For What I'm Looking For
These Disney "Classic Cartoon Favorites" are perfect for entertaining my two-year-old niece when she comes to visit. Each disc is about an hour long broken into 7-9 cartoons. Perfect for her short attention span. At $10 a disc, they are very easy on the wallet & I have bought five in the series and plan to buy more for birthdays and Christmases. I enjoy the cartoons for the nostagia and my niece never gets tired of them. Serious collectors will want to bypass this series and buy the deluxe collector's sets.
Customer Review: Disney Cartoon Classics
I grew up watching Disney Classic cartoons on the Big Screen at Saturday matinees. Later, I watched them faithfully on "Disney's Wonderful World of Color." These Disney cartoons are much better than what is being shown on TV these days. Therfore, I look forward to sharing this cartoon classic with my grandson.
